Finding Distinct Sounds

I have found that my music tastes are not limited to only one fashion and in fact that I would prefer if each of my favourite artists had their own sound. For instance, I have a love for the band We Shot the Moon. They are not overly exciting or interesting, honestly, but they are very relaxing to me and I enjoy every song of theirs. I do not often enjoy any other band of a similar genre though; it just sounds too much the same. This is similar with some of the other things I listen to and so programs like Spotify are not all that helpful, since they give suggestions based on what you have played in the past. But how else should they offer new music? It also does not help that I do not love what is most popular, it all has the same sound as well. How am I to win? I just need to explore the musical realm, I guess, and hope that I find a treasure every now and then. Who do you listen to the most?

The Time is Nigh

Where has my time gone? How come I always end up wasting the thing I covet the most? I suppose this must be so if it is to receive the appreciation it deserves. Even now I feel I should be using my time differently; would I cherish these moments more if I were? Maybe, or maybe not. For too long I have simply been living, to simply get through, and I have nothing spectacular to show for it. I could recite my most recent experiences in college to any inquiring, if I wished, and I would be given pleased faces in return, but such an act cannot give me hope for my own future. It is so much easier to trust another to live their own life than to trust yourself to live your own. In the eyes of relatives they believe I will succeed in all I do, but in my eyes I can see the chance of failure at every step. Our choices truly create who we are and in what situations we are placed and who is to tell what domino-effect may be caused by one direction or another. This, as far as my knowledge goes, is how we must live; in doubt of where to go and what to do. Though I am fairly certain of one thing, that this feeling does not rest in me alone.
